Watch the Sony CES 2012 Press Conference Right Here

One of the things that I like about working for PlayStation is that immediately following the holiday break, we’re right back into the action with the International Consumer Electronics Show. While CES isn’t a huge gaming show, there is always a gaming component – PlayStation Vita is our focus on the show floor this year. And since many gamers are technophiles, many of us have more than a passing interest in the tech on display at this mega-conference. For instance, I first laid eyes on the Bravia XBR HX929 HDTV at last year’s CES…and now I lay eyes on it every night as it hangs on my living room wall.

So with that in mind, we’re once again embedding the CES press conference are livestream right here for your viewing convenience. You’ll see the latest gadgets and tech from Sony Electronics, and you may even spot a celebrity or two. The event kicks off at 5:00pm Pacific/8:00pm Eastern; until then, there won’t be much to watch unless you enjoy gazing into inky blackness.

If you’re having trouble viewing the livestream, please click here. The show starts tonight at 5:00pm Pacific.

Directly after the press conference (around 6pm), the Sony Electronics team stream a live after-show Q&A with Sony Electronics’ president, and our own Kyle Shubel will demo PlayStation Vita live.

We’ll be updating the PlayStation.Blog throughout the week with the latest PlayStation Vita news coming out of CES, so don’t be a stranger to these parts. If you’d like more on the electronics side of the Consumer Electronics Show, click here to visit Sony CES blog.

There is two problems for the vita (not hating I just am pointing out some not to important stuff) 1. 4g is out which makes 3g obsolete 2. It is only on AT&T (I’ve heard their service isn’t very good) but I plan on getting the wi-fi only version so I don’t really care that much

im pretty sure they didnt use 4g for the ps vita because its barely anywhere in the country
and i think $250 is good
i thought it would be $350 for the wi-fi version because of all that hard ware and features
$250 isnt bad :D

Man in Black III
Spider Man III
Ghost Rider = to my surprise I only exited about 2 out of 3
MIB and GR ( Must say I almost lost my hairs when I saw Man in Black it was good times something worthy coming out of our wallets continue please
buy off Sony Ericsson was a bad move ( I see your point of competition but guys Sony will Never stand smartphone war especially with android lets say against Apple)

Any chance we could get this conference and the Q&A up on the PS Store tomorrow, or maybe next week?
I’d love to be able to download the videos to watch, since I was working during the streaming period.
It was great getting to download the E3 conference to my PS3 last year. :)

Not a bad show, but after hearing some disappointing news about Sony’s TV business I was hoping they would announce some very innovative new products. I would love Sony to improve their marketing and consumer awareness (alot of people still associate Walkman with the old CD or tape player).

Would’ve loved to see a Walkman that competes heavily with the IPod by adding new features that might be useful. I would Sony to stop playing catch-up with alot of other companies. Play with some new ideas! What about A Bravia with a touch screen interface? Or a Bravia that integrates recording features (so you can record shows as you watch them!). Or a network connected hi-fi system that lets you connect to iTunes or PSN and lets you buy and download directly to your docked IPod or Walkman? Maybe all these suggestions suck, but you get the idea!

Apart from that I think Sony make awesome products. Bravias are a excellent TV’s. Love the new Tablets. Can’t wait for the Vita either!

Can’t wait. LOL BTW I have a 55 inch Sony Bravia XBR HX929 as well. The 3D is great the blacks amazing I mean everything about this tv is great. and I also can’t wait to watch this c e s. I’m going to watch it on G4 but I’m guessing you guys will probably have more extras then WhT G4 will show. so I’ll check out both if I can.
